    Fantastic Food and venue

    We were thrilled with the wonderful food from grilled romaine lettuce appetizer to lemon olive oil cake & opera cake for dessert. We opted for family style service and it was terrific. The space was easy to decorate using a maroon guaze table runner with a lantern, votives, and small greens arrangements (less is more on their pretty cherry tables.) We did rent additional chairs for all guests and a dance floor which helped our 70 guests. A Spotify play list for dinner music and dance music saved us the cost of a DJ.
    We were very happy with our reception at The Wool Factory!

    That was easy!

    The team at The Wool Factory is on it from the moment you express interest. They are professional and prepared for anything you may specifically ask for, so it's very easy to make your vision come to life! From table settings to room layout to menu, having so much of the evening included in their planning allowed us to really step back and enjoy the day without worrying about any details.

    Delightful post-elopement dinner venue

    We used Wool Factory (specifically, Broadcloth) as our post-elopement dinner venue for us and our 8 guests. Mitchell and Danielle were wonderful to work with and responsive to our questions and needs. The Broadcloth staff and culinary team were also amazing! The food was absolutely delicious and the service unparalleled. And the physical space is beautiful. Highly recommend!

    Highly Recommend the Wool Factory for your Charlottesville Wedding!

    Cannot recommend the Wool Factory enough. Danielle was so helpful in ensuring all the details were buttoned down and the day went smoothly. The space is gorgeous and the food was delicious. Many people told us it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding and we agree! Definitely recommend the Wool Factory if you are looking to get married in Charlottesville.

    Exactly as we hoped!

    We had an idea in mind - we wanted a modern space, with a touch of elegance, and most of all a place for a super fun celebration. The Wool Factory delivered it all. From the beginning of the process, the staff was thoughtful and helpful, providing their expertise while not ever feeling pushy. They accommodated us along the way and did everything possible to provide what we needed. Everything ran like clockwork on our wedding day, the food was excellent, the staff was completely on top of everything, and if there were bumps, we never noticed them. It was exactly as we hoped for - a beautiful, and super fun celebration, at a place with a really cool vibe. We recommend The Wool Factory without hesitation!

    The Wool Factory's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with both of you to create your perfect day. Thank you for hosting that special day with us at The Wool Factory!

    The Wool Factory is Amazing!

    We initially toured the Wool Factory when it was still undergoing renovations and could tell right off the bat that it was going to be something special. We were not disappointed in the least! This is such a stunning place--an urban, industrial building nestled in green hills with streams.

    We had such an amazing experience working with Claire and Danielle throughout the entire process (and through COVID). They both were incredibly helpful with any questions or concerns we had and always got back to us quickly. It really put us at ease knowing that we had professionals handling our event, especially given that we were not local to Charlottesville.

    The food is incredible! Everything at our tasting was so delicious that we had a difficult time narrowing down what to choose. We also opted to have the desserts made in house instead of having a wedding cake and they were beyond words. If you're a foodie this is your place!

    The food is amazing, any space at the venue is breathtaking, and we received so many compliments from people at our wedding about how much they loved everything about it. We're so grateful to have found the Wool Factory for our wedding!

    The Wool Factory's reply:

    Thank you for your thoughtful words! We loved working with you, and are so honored that you chose The Wool Factory!

    Absolutely Incredible

    The Wool Factory was the perfect backdrop for our daughter's wedding reception. We rented out the entire Main Hall, the Broadcloth Private Dining for the band and vendors to eat, the Courtyard with the East side tented, and the Workshop Upstairs for the kids and babysitters. Everything was better than expected and planned for. Walking down the stairs and seeing the venue decked out for the reception was truly breathtaking. Our 183 guests enjoyed a Cocktail hour in the Courtyard, a delicious sit-down dinner, dancing to an amazing band on stage, and late-light pizza under the tent. The only word that can sum up the reception is MAGICAL! The staff at the Wool Factory was professional and knowledgeable and always helpful. From the initial tour, to the food/beverage tastings, to the actual event--the staff helped create the perfect setting and experience for our families and friends. The night was over all too quickly!

    The Wool Factory's reply:

    Thank you for choosing The Wool Factory, it was such a pleasure to work with you!
    We loved celebrating Emily & Will, and look forward to seeing you all in the future!

    A unique and special venue

    The industrial ambience the Wool Factory is a distinctive venue for hosting your wedding dinner and/or reception. Our rehearsal dinner guests were very impressed by the uniqueness of the environment. As we planned for our event we found both the Director of Operations (Claire) and the Venue Coordinator (Danielle) to be very professional, flexible, and helpful.

    The Wool Factory's catering menu offers a variety of delectable options that will suit any event.

    Industrial Chic Magic

    I can't say enough about The Wool Factory / Broadcloth Restaurant team and venue. Being a COVID bride was a constant roller coaster of emotions and anxieties, but the folks at TWF and BR handled everything with the utmost professionalism, hospitality and thoroughness to the point where I, as the bride, could just sit back and actually enjoy my own wedding. The entire night was pure magic. The food, service and atmosphere was both modern and chic while also being warm and intimate. The photos I just got back from the photographer are so incredibly stunning. I am not the princessy type, who says things like, "my wedding night was the best night of my life," but I'd be lying if I said otherwise. My guests still remark on what a wonderful wedding it was and how amazing TWF team and venue was, both in terms of their food/service and the environment itself.

    Fantastic space, friendly staff, AMAZING food

    I was incredibly pleased with our experience at the Wool Factory. The staff was accommodating, the food was delicious and perfectly cooked, and the space itself is rich in character and charm. The team did a fantastic job renovating that building while preserving and respecting the history. We had a small wedding due to the pandemic, but the space is massive, it made it very easy to spread out and feel safe. I’m not sure if there’s another venue in Cville that really compares to this place.

    Rustic Beauty

    We loved having our micro-wedding at the Loft of the Wool Factory. Mitchell and Danielle were wonderful and helpful to work with. We really liked the rustic charm of the buildings while also able to use the foot bridge and lawn for the ceremony itself. The food was delicious and the service between courses was seamless. They worked with the other vendors very well and it was a relief to know there was nothing left to worry about on the big day.

    If we had any complaint was not having clear signage about the venue versus the ceremony locations, but we were probably partly to blame for that as well. Nevertheless, we and our guests had a grand time.


    The Wool Factory's reply:

    Thank you, Kurt and Charlie! The Wool Factory was honored to host your wedding and congratulate you both on your new journey!

    Nature Meets Industrial

    The Wool Factory is the perfect blend of being outdoors with a modern, industrial feel. The space is light-filled and warm, with lots of beautiful architectural and natural details. The team is prompt and professional, the food is thoughtful and the atmosphere is whimsical yet structured.

    Great venue

    We did a full buyout of the space for a 160 person wedding in May 2025, and I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding! There are many nice picturing-taking spots around the property. We were able to get some more nature focused pictures outside and then moved inside to capture the wonderful industrial feel of the space. We had about 20 tables of 8-9 people and it didn't feel cramped. The food was amazing and almost exactly like what we tried at the tasting. The staff was great during the event. We had to move our ceremony inside and they did the room flip to cocktail hour super quickly! Although it was pricey, we appreciate that the Wool Factory handled everything that had to do the with tables, we did not need to rent plates, napkins, glassware, etc and it was nice to just have all of that tied in with the food and beverage. The only downsides I would mention was that communication was a bit slow (I often had to send a followup email to get a response), the beer options were not given to us until 30 days before, and we had to rent chairs for the tables since they only provided benches. Also they had a strict "no bare feet" on the dance floor, which is totally understandable, but I wish I would have know beforehand so that I could have warned my guests to bring flats in addition to their heels. Overall, it was a beautiful venue and we had an amazing day!

    The Wool Factory's reply:

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience at The Wool Factory! We were absolutely thrilled to host your wedding and are so happy to hear that you had an amazing day.

    It warms our hearts to know that you enjoyed the diverse photo opportunities, from the natural outdoor settings to the unique industrial charm of our indoor spaces. We're also delighted that the spaciousness of the venue, the delicious food, and the efficiency of our staff, especially with the quick room flip for your ceremony, contributed to such a positive experience. We truly strive to make the planning process as seamless as possible by including essentials like tables, plates, and glassware, and we're glad that convenience was appreciated.

    We sincerely apologize for the slower communication you experienced at times and for the late notice regarding beer options. We understand how crucial timely responses are during wedding planning, and we are actively working on improving our communication flow to ensure a more responsive experience for all our couples. Your feedback regarding the chair rentals and the "no bare feet" policy is also incredibly valuable. We will certainly take this into consideration for future communications with our clients so that expectations can be set well in advance.

    Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending The Wool Factory. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

    A perfect rehearsal lunch

    We had a rehearsal lunch at Broadcloth. The team was great to work with and accommodated our requests to bring gifts in for our guests, as well as all dietary restrictions and special lighting. Thank you!
